Fantastic Beasts Craft: Muggle Worthy Lock Pin

Last week we focused on MACUSA with a threat meter and a hex indicator map. Now, we’re taking a closer look at Newt’s magical case. What looks like an ordinary piece of luggage, actually holds an entire world of magical creatures. How does Newt conceal this from Muggles during inspection? With a simple flip of its lock, making its contents “Muggle Worthy”. Such an ingenious way to blend into the Muggle world! Now when you’re wearing your Muggle clothes you too can blend in, by simply wearing your Muggle Worthy Lock Pin.

Supplies

Polymer clay (I used Sculpey brand in antique gold)

Pin backs

Clay roller

Clay cutters

Clay tools

Paintbrush

Hot glue gun & sticks Super glue

Black paint (optional)

Ruler (not pictured)

Instructions

Using your clay roller, roll out a your clay to your desired thickness

Using your clay cutters, cut out 1 circle and 1 rounded rectangle for the lock details

Cut out a keyhole shape from one of your circles

Cut out a large rectangle that will be the lock base. I used a business card as my guide. I then used my lock detail pieces to determine spacing and cut my rectangle down farther to the appropriate size.

Using your clay cutters, cut out another circle, this one w/a flat edge

Using your clay tools, indent the words “Muggle Worthy” on the circle with the flat edge

Add your details pieces to your lock base

Add 4 small circles of clay in each corner of your pin

Roll out a thin piece of clay to make the lever

Bake clay according to package directions

Lightly add some paint to you lock to give it a distressed/worn look

Using your super glue, attach the pin back to the back of the lock

Let your pin dry overnight to continue hardening

Now pin your lock to the front of your clothes & blend in with the Muggles!
